Comets

Comets are not much more than just dirty snowballs on their journey from the Oorts Cloud to the inner solar system. The comets are heated up by the sun and the frozen ice starts to sublime. This is the origin of the, sometimes spectacular, coma and tail.

The techniques used to gain the shown pictures are extremely different. My first photos were taken on negative- and slidefilm and scanned, while newer pictures are achieved with digital compact cameras or digital single lens reflex cameras (sSLR). Further detail about the techniques can be found under the individual images.
